clean the magnetic heads, pinch roller, and
capstan with a cotton bud dipped in alcohol.
Also, demagnetize the head by playing a
demagnetizing cassette (available through an
audio equipment store).
To protect recordings on one or both sides of a
tape, remove the corresponding tab. If you
later want to record on the tape, affix a piece
of adhesive tape over the hole.
Quit Slacking - A little bit of slack in your tapes
can cause scratches on the tape, or worse yet,
the tape could break. If you notice some slack
in the tape, use a pencil to tighten it up before
you insert it.

Cleaning CDs
• Dirty CDs can cause poor sound quality. Always
keep CDs clean by wiping them gently with a soft
cloth from the inner edge toward the outer
perimeter.
CD Lens Care
When your CD lens gets dirty it can also cause the
system to output poor sound quality. To clean the
lens you will need to purchase a CD lens cleaner
which can maintain the output sound quality of
your system. For instructions on cleaning the CD
lens, refer to the ones accompanying the lens
cleaner.
